You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I've seen some conflicting advice searching the webs, some say they wont go over 100mm. I couldn't find a 2012 specific sram tech doc. The 2011 service guide says that it can go to 120mm.
Sadly not
Ok,cheers. The search continues...
You may be able to!
Can you see markings on the stanchion for 120mm of travel? If yes then they can, I bought a set of the 26 ones a while back whihc stated 80mm only but they had the markings on so my lbs set them up for 120mm.
I called TFtuned on this exact issue as I was looking for forks for the Rockstar. Their answer was no 100mm ones can't be lenghtened to 120mm. However the very few official 120mm Rebas can be reduced but they're hard to find now.
What fork did you fit instead coopersport?
So how could I have bought and 80mm travel fork and then had it lengthened to 120mm, with the sag marks on the stanchion?
Also it was done by an ex SRAM tech!
Ashley, are yours the same forks as in the OP? I haven't bought them, so can't comment on any stantion markings.
26" and 29" are different. 29", sadly not. I have some. I know.
pre 2011 reba 29ers could be extended with the removal of the all travel spacer system. Later models were 120 or 80-100.
Conclusive then, 120mm not possible.

Are these any good, they can be set at 120mm supposedly.
2013 Sids come in 120mm form if you are feeling flush.
Definately looking at the budget end of the scale so the Sids are out.
chopchop - We are in the same boat my friend! 🙂
Im hovering over the 'buy' box for the same forks, same store.
Just put a post up about this issue - then spotted yours!
Im not convinced the 100mm travel would be enough for the riding i do, especially Laggan Wolftrax........
Cant believe there is such a gap in RS's line up - i would have thought 120mm would have been the most popular for trail riding.
Might just get 2013 Revelation Solo Air 140's and get a 120mm cartridge, at least i know they will be tough enough, at a cost though 🙁
Winstanleys currently doing the for £520, but the cartridge is another £90!
These can - I set in stock, qr though £300

Alan, yes a right PITA with the lack of 120mm forks available. I've got a set of recons that I'll stretch out to 120mm but they're qr and very heavy so I'm wanting to upgrade soon. Those revs are too pricey for me ATM.
Big Pete, cheers but really want to get Maxle forks.
